A big thanks to James Clark at Jäger Rifles

I'd just like to say a huge thank you to James Clark owner of Jäger Rifle builders.
for some time now I've not been happy with the rifle I had built by another rifle builder.
The mod would never stay tight on the rifle and although it would group ok it would always through one or two flyers. I got various other people to shoot it and it would always do the same. I tried various different loads to no avail.
so today I took it over to James he had a good look and measure up and the thread had been cut a tad lose and slightly off centre.
with no effort at all he had it stripped down and in the lathe he cut a new thread centred this time and re crowned it.
The results were brilliant I fired three five shot groups they were all the same with no flyers at all.
shot with sako 75 .270
100mts the bull is a 1.5cm square

Cheers. I'm using Norma brass 130gr Sierra gamekings and 58gr N160 powder I've worked up to this load as it's top end it works well in my rifle. I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone to start off with that load work up to it.
